Kluk hand stretches out for the blade on the ground. Tau's claw also aiming at the sword, their arms cross over each other grabbing each other's swords.
Twik! The swords meet as they are pulled, Tau and Kluks arm are fling back. Tau already expecting the recoil brings his sword again.
Kluk looks, he blinks his heart beats...
Tau smiles at Kluk this is the end of the gobo, his sword will pass through the eye like wool through a needle. The smell from before is worse now. That underlying scent of wrongness filling Kluk's body coming to the forefront. Tau won't be deterred from his purpose. He wants to explore the rewards of the horde. Plan his rise with his mob hell right now he just wants to drink the blood of his enemy.
Swoosh!
Tau's blade is driven straight through the skull of Kluk. He stumbles to his knees, blinks with is one good eye and falls dead. The scent of fowl irregular blood fills the air. Tau is meet by cheers from the small gobo crowd still around.
[Mission activated]
[Warband leader defeated!]
[?????????? 2/3]
[Reward: Goblin mound]
Tau is waves at the few gobo left, a few respond to his gesture, most think he is waving at them. The few that do come are told to.
"Please remove these bodies and depose of them." Tau ask the gob of green gobo, with long noses warts and bright yellow teeth. They look almost troic in appearance not something common amongst green gobo's of the forest like him. One could say that forest gobo are like elves. They have all the same features expect that goblins coming in a multitude of colors and are usually at most one point three meters tall. While elves are elves.
Troic looking group gets its features from humans, with ulgy long noses, the incredible big warts and the bad attitude. Most troic gobo's have the worst self centered arrogance.
These Troic nods and do as they are told, all four hesitate to touch Kluk. That smell is indeed dangerous. Tau pokes his corpse trying to see where the smell is coming from.
Boom!
Tau is flung back a hard unseen force has just erupted from Kluk. The wails of childern and fleeing gobo's all around. The flesh of those struck by Kluk dead body. Starts to feel wossy before they feint. Grey blood vessel spreading out from the wounds.
Tens of goblin lie around Tau, being the closets seems to have had to the opposite effect and left him unharmed, since him and all four of the troic goblins are also unhurt.
Palesa runs out coming to see what happened, their is the left over of a corpse where Kluks body should be. All around her are dying gobo's and Tau is lying on the otherside by another red tent.
"Gcina, I think you need to see this!" Palesa shouts out at Gcina. Gcina is the only one who might have an idea of what to do.
Gcina comes out of the tent. She is rather relaxed or tired her eyes travel across the Warband tents. She picks out all the damage taking note. Gcina moves next to Palesa, her feet slugish and she falls collapsing into Palesas arms.
Tau runs worried the way Gcina fell is unnatural, the wails of those around crying and weeping are nothing to him. He arrives a few seconds later. He looks at Kluk's body there is a strange white smoke building from it.
Palesa puts Gcina down, finding a piece of bone in her back. Grey vessels of poison spreading into her. Palesa's eyes water
"Diana! Diana! Come quickly!" Palesa shouts for her lover. The healer of the group comes out a moment. Her sliver fringe hair moving in the breeze.
Diana falls to her knees, immediately removing the bone. She takes out a knife from her small bag. She cuts the wound and rubs takes a bite of the muscle infect with poison. The Taste is unfamiliar to Diana, a strong bitter almost overwhelming the other sweet and salty tastes. She reaches from Bongo leaf. It's not a cure but works similar to carbonated powder to absorb the poison.
Palesa looks at Tau then nods in Diana's general direction. She thinks, 'hey you ask Diana what she is doing, is there something we should get and how can we help her?'
Tau shakes his head thinking, 'why don't you ask her?' Tau was waiting for a chance when Palesa started acting weird so now he does not want to risk it.
Palesa says, "I will do. Diana how is she?" Diana works on the wound a little. Rubbing the crushed leaves of the Bongo leaf into the word she spits.
"Gcina will be fine, I managed to clear the wound and have taken out most of the poison. Now hopefully this leaf will neutralize what ever is left in her blood stream.
" It won't matter if your dead! " The voice sounded, it came from the body of smoke that was kluk. A sinister laugh follows it.
Tau and Palesa moves into a defensive posture. Both putting themselves between the white mist body and Diana. They stand both ready to action.
" Tau, in death I will kill that treachous bitch."
The voice from the fog ghost is definitely that of Kluk, however the tone, intanation and caydence is wrong.
"What the hell are you?" Asks Palesa she has severed the contention with Diana. Her power doubles instantly. Tau is surprised he thought that Diana was the strongest but with the other half of her power back Diana is the strongest.
The smokes dances in place," I am what I am, and today that means I'm your enemy!" Tau's heart jumps.
This thing is the enemy, Tau moves towards the body with deathly intention. Sliding he picks up his sword and slashes three times at the mist born body.
His slices remove neck chest and lower abdomen.
"Ahh! Ahh! Just joking cub! You can't kill me that easily, I'm still having fun talking to you don't be in such a rush.
" What do you want enemy!?" Tau says to the phantom fog. His worry for Gcina is his main concern. Unfortunately it seems the menacing mist is unphased by physical attacks. Their something familiar about that sticks out to Tau. Thou he believes it to be a coincidence. His name means lion.
"What I want? The smoke moves its arms spreading them wide.
" I want to you all to die especially that rotten bitch over there. Leave her alone Diana or else you will make things worse. What can a stupid girl like you do." continues the mist, accalmating to his form. It floats around now moving away from Tau spinning around Diana, Palesa and the unconconcise Gcina.
" Well I'm never gonna let her die, so you can just such up you, you..." Diana could not think of anything witty she is fully focused on helping Gcina recover. She is trying to figure out why Gcina is passed out if it was the poison form the bone then Gcina should be already showing signs of recover. However dispute removing the poison Gcina is still in a deep sleep.
"Fool girl, your just wasting your time double douche Diana!" Diana mouth closes shut at the old primary school insult. Diana is surprised that the form knows of something that happened so long ago.
"Fuck you! You stupid piece of shit, why don't you just stay dead. Or even better leave us the fuck alone because we are going to save her and there is nothing you can do about." Palesa says she could see Diana was hurt being called a duoche. Palesa is non sure why such a small thing can have such a big effect on her but Palesa doesn't care two of friends are hurt and she has been able ti do anything.
She had shot a dart of ice when Tau had cut off the mist's head and to her dismay it too just flew just through the fog fiend.
"Haha, you will never save that loose cunt from the poison I put in this body. You will slowly watch as she fades from your and i will be her laughing my arse off." The mist says moving around each of them wishper it's intentions around.
Gobo are scrambling away to find hiding spots, those that are too scared or poisoned to move are exactly where they have been sinc kluk body exploded.
"Do I know you? How do you Gcina? She is kind and caring and has never done anything to you. Why the hell are you doing this? Asks Palesa to the fog. Waving it away from her whenever it comes close.
" That's a secret, butterball. I'm going to kill you all every single last one you and then make jewelry out of your corpses for fun thats what I want." the mist says.
Tau stands in front of Diana and Palesa and says "Injabulo, what the hell do you think your doing?"
